end of a season

/ Dixie 
end of a season
for the immortal trees
end of a lifetime
for the ephemeral leaves
once red and green
barely born
now brown and gold
ready to fly
the trees do not need
their children
their bright-colored ornaments
It is the leaves
the fallen fragile
who can no longer
sing the wind.
